Climate litigation with Robert Spano and Adele Matheson Mestad

How did our climate come to be protected by human rights? What is the role of courts in a field so riddled with political disagreement and popular discontent? Is climate litigation an undemocratic judicialization of politics? Or simply judicial review as usual? One thing seems clear: It is certainly not oil on water... Robert Spano, former president of the European Court of Human Rights, now partner at Gibson Dunn, and Adele Matheson Mestad, former director of the Norwegian Institution of Human Rights (NIM), now partner at BAHR answer these, and a number of other legal questions Anine finds mind-bogglingly difficult. Praise the Law!
